Contented Dementia: A Revolutionary New Way of Treating Dementia : 24-hour Wraparound Care for Lifelong Well-being

Contented Dementia: A Revolutionary New Way of Treating Dementia : 24-hour Wraparound Care for Lifelong Well-being

Dementia is a little understood and currently incurable illness, but much can be done to maximise the quality of life for people with the condition. Contented Dementia - by clinical psychologist and bestselling author Oliver James - outlines a groundbreaking and practical method for managing dementia that will allow both sufferer and carer to maintain the highest possible quality of life, throughout every stage of the illness.

A person with dementia will experience random and increasingly frequent memory blanks relating to recent events. Feelings, however, remain intact, as do memories of past events and both can be used in a special way to substitute for more recent information that has been lost. The SPECAL method (Specialized Early Care for Alzheimer's) outlined in this book works by creating links between past memories and the routine activities of daily life in the present.

Drawing on real-life examples and user-friendly tried-and-tested methods, Contented Dementia provides essential information and guidance for carers, relatives and professionals.

Dementia: Dementia Types, Diagnosis, Symptoms, Treatment, Causes, Neurocognitive Disorders, Prognosis, Research, History, Myths, and More! Facts & Information

Dementia is one of the most prevalent syndromes prevalent today, and yet scientific and medical knowledge of dementia and its many different types, causes, and dynamics is arguably still in its beginning stages. Neither does it help that public awareness of dementia is also pretty sparse. For years, people have considered dementia as just a normal part of aging, when it actually isn't. "Dementia Explained" by Frederick Earlstein gathers together many of the current knowledge and information about dementia, its history, types, symptoms, causes, treatment and prognosis into one, easy to read reference that seeks to demystify this syndrome for the ordinary layman. Within these pages, we take a look at some of the many different types of dementia that afflict millions of people in the world today. The book also takes a look at some of the alternative therapies or remedies that may help people who suffer from dementia or dementia symptoms, and at the different types of research experts are currently looking into that might help people who have been diagnosed with dementia.

What can a diseased brain tell us about being human, living our own lives better and helping those with dementia get the best from theirs?

When Wendy Mitchell was diagnosed with young-onset dementia at the age of fifty-eight, her brain was overwhelmed with images of the last stages of the disease - those familiar tropes, shortcuts and clichés that we are fed by the media, or even our own health professionals.

But her diagnosis far from represented the end of her life. Instead, it was the start of a very different one.
